9 Places You Might See a Celeb in L.A.

Without being, like, a stalker

You’re visiting Los Angeles and vibing on the sun, the shore and (with a little advance planning) the proximity to off-hours celebrities. Here are some of the spots you’ll want to keep your eyes open for maximum star wattage, in both the level of star quality and the stuttering flashbulbs of roving packs of paparazzi.

Jennifer Garner: Brentwood Farmers Market

In SoCal, farmers' markets are as much for people-watching as for stocking up on organic greens. Tip: Hit weekend markets in neighborhoods like Brentwood and Santa Monica (since they have a high concentration of stars’ homes).

Justin Bieber and Kendall Jenner: Runyon Canyon

It’s a three-mile hiking loop with great views of Hollywood from the top of the hill. Bonus: You might also get to see known hikers Channing Tatum, Jenna Dewan-Tatum and their dogs next to you on the trail.

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend: Craig’s

This West Hollywood restaurant is the place to star-spot New Hollywood on Saturday nights, thanks to the charm of its owner, Craig Susser, the former maître d' of Dan Tana’s, the watering hole for Old Hollywood types. Order the honey-truffle chicken (it’s the house specialty).

Selma Blair: Rodeo Drive

Kind of a no-brainer. But here’s a star-sighting tip: Lots of celebs, like Selma Blair, walk their own dogs, so keep your eyes open for the person on the other end of that cute four-legged creature.

Sarah Silverman: Largo at the Coronet Theatre

At this underground comedy and music spot in the middle of the design district, it’s hard to tell the audience members from the performers, since it’s a popular go-to for artists to support one another.
